Lunar started it's life back on the Mega CD and quickly gained what could only be described as the Sega equivalent as Square's Final Fantasy fan base on the Super Famicom. Lunar is by Game Arts who were probably the ONLY company that really used the Mega CD's potential. Even Sega themselves didn't use the Mega CD as well as Game Arts did. Now we have the Saturn port of Lunar Silver Star Story which features all that made the Mega CD game such a hit but now with far better audio and visuals. It's been a very long time since I've played this game but from what I remember it was magical in every respect. There is also a Lunar 2 and Lunar Magic School for the Saturn and well as a Lunar MPEG Edition which features beautiful full screen FMV cut scenes unlike this version which as them all boxed with decent quality but no where near MPEG standards. Sadly the Lunar franchise has been left to rot after Game Arts joined up with ESP along with Treasure and a few other developers. Since then Game Arts have never been the same. Lunar Silver Star Story was released on the GBA not so long ago but I think that what we all wanted was a new Lunar adventure. |
